An average of 72 percent of those questioned say they would be very (43 percent) or somewhat (29 percent) concerned if Iran developed nuclear weapons. However, most people favor diplomacy over military action to solve the Iranian nuclear issue. Only 11 percent favor military action. Read the full poll results here.
